Heather Mills Lists New York Apartment

Filed under: Estates, Celebrity Shopping

Last year we mentioned that Paul McCartney's infamous ex-wife Heather Mills was selling her London flat with a list price of £3.75 million, now she's selling in New York City.

As Curbed NY reported earlier this month, Heather Mills paid $4.9 million for the full ninth floor of 173 Perry Street, the northernmost building in architect Richard Meier's trio of sleek West Village waterfront towers. Mills, who has reportedly faced money troubles despite a large financial settlement from McCartney and high profile gigs including a turn on "Dancing With The Stars," owns a dramatic two-bedroom condo.

The 1,808-square-foot apartment has panoramas north to the Empire State Building, south to the Statue of Liberty and west to the Hudson River and runs the full length of the building. It has two terraces. The open kitchen has a center island perfect for entertaining. Every detail has been designed by Richard Meier including temperature controlled window shades, heating system, Multi-zoned A/C, entertainment and sound system. Mills is asking $5.3 million and the property is listed with Prudential Douglas Elliman.

Filed under: Estates

I mentioned this one on Sunday as part of the real estate round-up but Curbed's post on it helped me decided that the listing pictures are worth a post of their own. The Wall Street Journal's Private Properties column first reported that Sun Microsystems co-founder Bill Joy put his triplex in the 176 Perry Street building designed by Richard Meier on the market. Joy bought the condo for $17.57 million and is now asking $40 million for the 11,000-square-foot home. The unit is the largest in the building and takes up the eighth, ninth and 10th floors. There are expansive views of the Hudson River from many rooms include the huge double-height living room. The home includes a gourmet kitchen, large dining room, a huge recreation room and a small wine cellar. There are five bedrooms total including a master bedroom with an exercise area, bath, sauna and dressing areas. Each floor has a terrace and the most amazing feature of the home is the dramatic swirled staircase. The home is a masterpiece of blinding white and linear space but is it livable? It seems more like incredibly chic office space.
